Nigeria's Soldiers of Fortune: The Abacha and Obasanjo Years is a Book by Max Siollun published in 2019. LFormer Givernor Sule Lamido's attempt to rewrite history is lazy and unfortunate.

Alhaja Abibatu Mogaji had been close to President Ibrahim Babangida. Babangida was a militrician (a political soldier) and he knew that he had to be close to different power groups. Alhaja Mogaji was the head of market women in Nigeria and that's why she and President Babangida became close. You can see that President Babangida stopped to talk to her in my video of the movement of the capital from Lagos to Abuja in 1991. Bola Tinubu knew that his mother and Babangida werw close, that's why he took her to beg Babangida to reverse the annullment of the June 12 election. |

Karlovych:As I remember clearly, people came out in droves and defied the military. They were singing: "how many people soldier go kill ooo how many people soldier go kill dem go kill us tire dem go kill us tire how many people soldier go kill" Interestingly, I remember all the igbos in my class and their parents cowardly fled to the South East. We were still going to school with green leaves on our cars till it became too hot and school closed. I dont blame the igbos that fled to their villages sha. After all, they were visitors in the SW, and they assumed a war will break out between the North and the SW, and they didn't not wan't to be part of it despite the evil role they played to annul the June 12.

Our people have take interest in issues of dead people covered with the shield of history,no thanks to those who do not have serious agenda for their coalition other than to remove the present administration. |

So much worship for one person.....More than 10 people have countered a subtle insinuation by Lamido. It was simple, Lamido said Tinubu did not actually fight for democracy but for ushering in of Abiola. No one has countered it with all the response and counter response from political jobbers and foot soldiers. Even under this thread, it's still on the same direction, swearing in of Abiola. It's one thing to be fighting or to fight for democracy and another thing to find a way to government. You geeti de pointi now |

All we need is to tell the story right. I don't understand why some people are trying to rewrite history because of political differences. |

The coalition already started on a wrong foot. Firstly, Sule Lamido tried to change history known to Nigerians despite the role he and Anenih played in the nullification of the June 12 election. Secondly, fronting Elrufai a known liar to speak for it(coalition). Nigerians are aware that Elrufai can lie today and back it up with another lies tomorrow. That is why OBJ called him a pathological liar. It is that bad. A group of liars cannot earn the trust of Nigerians, especially when it is being done by a Northerner. |

Obiedun:Even Peter Obi was one of those that were Nzeribe's (ABM) and Chukwumerije's foot soldiers that went to deliver the court order from Justice Bassey Ikpeme's court barring NEC from conducting June 12 election. Obi was rewarded with a post by Abacha to head a port and he made his billions from that appointment from Abacha.

Two truths can co-exist. It is also said that Abiola had a deal with Abacha to come in through the back door, as an alternative to being democratically elected. “I was returning from one of such trips to a prominent Emir one afternoon when I heard from my car radio Chief Abiola calling on General Abacha to come and ease Chief Shonekan as he eased out Babangida, I was shocked.Ladies and Gentlemen, your Hero of Democracy!

He was initially cynical....later became a mole...later requested to be made commissioner....what a great manipulator albeit in all negative indices. |

| Re: Tinubu, Mother Went To Appeal To Babangida To Swear In Abiola (Max Siollun) by Slytiger: 6:14am On Jun 24, 2025 |
Dannyset:Anenih was one of the, if not the, most corrupt politician that ever came out of Nigeria. He was so corrupt that his nickname was "Mr Fix it". As for Lamido, he was also suspended from SDP for anti-party activities during the June 12 era. Same clown is now trying to re-write history.

When a man's past and presence is full of controversies, he can only resort to propaganda and image laundering to stay relevant. |

Mabuggi88:Oga Ade, stop writing jargons. What does Abiola represent? Abiola was the foundation of modern democracy we all enjoy together, saying Tinubu worked for enthronement of Abiola and not for democracy shows how shallow you reason. We should ask you whether Abiola was a military or a monarch. Radarada |
